5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The MultiMax 6ds has a number of sliding surfaces made of smooth metals and
plastics. They are virtually friction-free and require no lubrication. They will, however,
collect dust and lint, which may affect the performance of the MultiMax 6ds. Keep the
MultiMax 6ds as clean as possible by keeping the front cover always closed. When
necessary, clean the unit with a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or mild
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
The printing surface is made out of a special cellular material. Do not touch it!
Cleaning it with any kind of fluid will permanently damage it. Also if pressure is
applied to the surface with anything other than the printhead, the printing surface
could also be permanently damaged.
5.1.1 Cleaning the drive system
After time and usage, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with
accumulated residue from the media liner. This situation may affect traction, as the
media will tend to slip between the pinch rollers and the drive sleeves.
To clean the drive sleeves, proceed as follows:
1.
Power down the MultiMax 6ds and remove media and cassettes. Switch
it back on.
2. Wait until it is initialized and open the front cover.
3.
Cover the front and rear sensor with a piece of paper. Remove the backing
from a piece of vinyl. Place the vinyl with the tacky side down between one of the
pinch rollers and a drive sleeve.
4. Close the cover, press the
key twice, and wait until the machine is ready.
